CarBole 12 Volt Electric Fuel Pump 5-9 PSI, 35 GPH for Gasoline Engines

Works in 1990 4.2L Jeep Wrangler (YJ) with a Weber Carb. 65+ mph

So far works good

I installed this on a 1981 Ford F-150 with a 351 modified engine. The old mechanical fuel pump just wasn't cutting it anymore so I figured I would upgrade to an electric one. This pump will pump like crazy! I ran into a small snag with air pressure building up between the pump and the carburetor. Not exactly sure how I'm going to fix it yet but once some air pressure builds up between the pump and the carburetor it doesn't pump nearly as well. I actually installed my pump under the hood on the front quarter panel. this pump doesn't excellent job with the self siphoning feature to pull it all the way from the tank to the pump. I think this may be what's causing the air pressure though is it's moving air in the line. I would imagine if this was installed back near the gas tank along the frame I wouldn't run into the issue I'm faced with right now. Again it's a great guy and I'm probably going to buy one just to throw in the glove box in case it ever goes out. A $10 it can't be a super high-quality piece but it's going to do just fine in the old pickup. One other side note the metal strap that goes around the pump to hold it to the vehicle doesn't have any rubber piece to hold it still. You will need to put something between the pump and the metal strap to avoid excessive vibration and movement.

This pump is made with a steel shell for the pump and the filter and steel hose barb, which makes it unsuitable for use with gasoline available in the USA because it It will rust through and fail. The pump arrived filled with a mix of kerosene and light oil to prevent it from rusting and seizing in storage before it can be installed. Find a pump that has a brass shell instead. Fuels that contain ethanol always contain some water. Ethanol is extremely hydroscopic, the only the question is how much water. Unfortunately, for the steel shell, it really doesn't matter how much, any water will promote rapid corrosion. If its installed below the tank level, fuel will leak even when the pump is off.My particular pump arrived minus one of the hose barbs, I had to take a barb from the 30 year old die cast pump it would have been replacing and I noticed that the old nipple was brass, and the new one was steel, which was easily remedied by taking both barbs from the old pump. Then I grew suspicious and tested the shell with a magnet and I realized the manufacturer hadn't simply plugged it up with fluid leftover from testing, this pump has a steel shell that corrodes easily and is suitable for use in most of the world but not the USA because it isn't suitable for use with fuels containing ethanol.I'll be sending mine back. I suggest you do the same if you can.Update:Needed the boat's tank pumped out and adjusting the 40 year old mechanical contact solenoid pump was more frustrating than usual (failing springs), so I used this one for pumping out the boat after all, and it can't be returned once its been used and has fuel in it. The fuel delivery rate was around 1/3 of that of the pump from the 1970's, right around 11GPH with a 24" vertical lift and 5 feet of 5/16" ID tube on inlet and outlet. That makes pumping a 20 gallon boat tank into 5 gallon jugs a tedious chore. To be fair its also a lot smaller and lighter and the old one was $23 in '78 so its also far less expensive. The 1970's pump is a cast aluminum shell and pump structure with brass hose barbs and doesn't suffer from water in the fuel. Its completely repairable so i'll fill this new one with oil so it doesn't rust inside and put it on the shelf until I can give it to someone who needs one to transfer fuel.

Excellent stand alone fuel pumpb

Worked great on 1980 C 10 pick up truck

It was good for 3 years and I only put 1000 to 1500 miles a year on my vintage GTO, then it just quit- still voltage to it but not working. Fortunately it died just after I drove into my driveway but would NOT buy it again as longevity is terrible- if you do buy, order a second one to keep in your trunk so you won’t get stranded!

Used to siphon old gas out of my boat. Worked great!
